Are we jacking up a Delorean with a flux capacitor?

Stripped out? When mine was, it did this - I just lumped loads of shit in the boot before I jacked it up, seemed to solve my problem!

Oh right I was thinking you using the scissor jack.

Invest in axle stands :lol:

You're not jacking it up on the sill part are you?

There is a square bit of chassis with a round hole in behind the front wheels which I always use.

I can only think you havent locked the hydraulic valve tight enough cos I have done that sometimes too.

tis cos of the rear beam. the front suspensio0n is independant so it will stretch to its full length before lifting with the car. The rear wheel is held up as the wheel on the other side still has weight on so it can't come down from the arch, and so the rear beam will keep the rear wheel in the arch for longer, hence why the rear wheel will lift off the ground before the front & also usually end up being higher in the air than the front when fully jacked up.

use the front jacking point instead of the back

jackin point on the side.....front wheels just wont come off the ground, well they do but about half an inch, which isnt normal.
